Planned to be the first of three EPs covering the different styles of Mr Pig, this one is what you might call the 'nice' one. Not entirely bereft of the droney, dreamy distortions and repetitions that are Vasko's sound but here they are realised in, perhaps, a more traditional fashion.http://fwonk.co.ukhttp://soundcloud.com/vaskothepig Topics: mp3, flac, Fwonk*, Fwonk* Netlabel, electronic, glitch, noise, ambient

If someone said to you, "I'm going to play you a song about love", what would you expect to hear? The basic ideas for "Lovers" had been fostering for months, coming on the heels of last year's full-length album, "Feeding Lions". This standalone new track is ripe with tension, a recording both unrelenting and oddly beautiful, like the proverbial sound of cymbals crashing. It was written and produced by Kai Ginkel aka Phirnis, with an astonishing remix by... Topics: mp3, flac, Phirnis, Fwonk*, Katarrhaktes

The bizarre Cuckoo Spit's debut on Fwonk* is a twisted, bi-polar trip to a world smothered in rainbows and rotting entrails. Using only the manipulated human voice, the mini-album Salmon Custard is in flux between candy coated naivety and darkly humorous innuendo.http://fwonk.co.uk/109/ Topics: mp3, fwonk*, flac, vocal, vocal manipulation

The third and final EP from the benevolent Irish techno smith Puppet Show has been magic’d to our media device screens! This time round the tracks are louder, noisier and more dance edged then e’er before. The EP is also a longer then e’er before with a whopping seven tracks. Why, that’s almost an entire album. Which certainly wouldn’t be possible without the wonderful co-production action from fellow Fwonk* artists Gross Prophet and Katarrhaktes. Special thanks to Allyzia for...

Everyone knows that California is the best US state. That's why the Sages of Fwonk, under the direction of Katarrhaktes, have banded together to produce 17 songs in a compilation which eulogises its greatness. Or it's just a bunch of random demos we made for shits and giggles that have nothing to do with one another. But hey! You won't find these tracks anywhere else. Probably.

Some days, it seems as though the rain will last forever. Melancholy, somber, yet ultimately hopeful, Cuckoo Spit neurotically searches for colour in perpetually overcast landscapes.

Enjoying The Undertow is Isotherme’s first single for Fwonk* and displays a penchant for weaving multiple melodies within a song’s structure. Electronic sounds bubble and splash as if in water. Each melodic line and counter-line represents a creature of the sea. Fish travel by. Dolphins jump. E-bowed guitars mimic whale calls. The bass line is the ocean floor. Mermaids swim in the lightness of the percussion. And the sea itself is heard in the lush pads which envelop the entire piece.

Catrin Noise is a singer-songwriter from Bosnia and Herzegovina. She collaborates closely with Plavi Podrum on writing and producing the songs. Remember is a socially engaged song, originated in the harsh reality of an impoverished country (Bosnia) and its uncertain future. It's a search for hope, rebellion, action, that often ends with a return to oneself. The refuge is found in the personal life. The song is written by Catrin and produced by Plavi Podrum. The remix is produced by 3dtorus. Topics: Electronic, Electronica, Electro, Dance, Alternative Pop, Netlabel, Netaudio, Techno, Catrin Noise,...

This album takes tracks from the Fwonk* back catalogue and gives them the full on remix treatment – artists such as Bachelor Machines, Styli, Fudgedubnofunk, Imploded View and Kabukiman see their tracks ripped asunder, transformed, mutated and evolved into something new, something exciting and something chaotic.

'Mind Insert' was chosen as the single for the simple reason that I found it to be the catchiest track of all 11 I produced to be released as the album 'Rain (On Your Charade)'. To me it is as well a good example for why I think the whole album to be Post Techno. It definitely is techno if you look/listen at each element solitary – but together they do not appear as Techno. Yes, I have quite a strict idea what Techno is and what it sounds like, which is mainly because I experienced it during...

You prepare yourself for the most perfect romantic evening with the girl of your dreams. Stare into each others eyes, tie each other up - but wait. This was supposed to be a home-cooked meal.

'Rain (On Your Charade)' is an album with which I explored possibilities of 'Post Techno'. It has clear elements of techno and dub and is definitely not an average dance music music album. Rather I tried to tell a story within, to take listeners on a journey and to bring them back home safe and entertained. Although it was completely produced with software I find it to have a very analogue sound. Most important for me was to create a personal piece which includes my artistic vision of track...
